L4-L5 disc prolapse

2024-10-02 09:41:16
I have been suffering from slipped disc from a very long time but I haven't experienced so much of pain in a long time as I am experiencing now. After doing an MRI it's seen "Degenerative disc desiccation with mild disc bulge at L4-L5 level indenting ventral thecal sac and abutting the exiting nerve roots" and also straightening of Spinal Cord. And the pain is excruciating. Will injecting corticosteroid help in this condition and what more remedies or medical assistance I should take
